ABOUT

animation

[an-i-ma-tion] -noun

Stop‑motion, Traditional animation (or cell animation) use the same animation technique to make a physically manipulated object (or drawing) appear to move on its own.

The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. The effect is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision

film

[film] -noun

A film is a series of still or moving images.

Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring.

The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed.

Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement.
